A medical examiner has now ruled 13-year-old Alexis Glover's death a homicide.
Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert said Wednesday that the medical examiner's report shows the cause of Alexis Glover's death was drowning and exposure to cold.
Although arrested and released from police custody a little over a month ago, Glover's adoptive mother, who initially told authorities that the girl had run away, has been arrested again.
After local police searched her property, she was charged with felony child neglect and filing a false police report. Further charges are "likely."
A 13-year-old developmentally disabled girl disappeared last Wednesday (Jan. 7) from the parking lot of the Manassas, VA, Central Community Library.
Alexis Glover or "Lexie" was known to just vanish and had previously worn a GPS bracelet for her own safety. Her disappearance launched an extensive police search with dogs, helicopters, posted flyers and volunteers going door-to-door. Because of her condition, it was believed that Alexis was hiding from police, thinking that she was in trouble.
Due to other medical issues, the community searched diligently in hopes of getting her much-needed medication.
Sadly, Lexie's body was found in a creek eight miles away from the library and two days after she was reported missing.
The girl's mom spoke to reporters a few days ago pleading with people to come forward with any information leading to the person(s) connected with her daughter's death.
However, on Tuesday night, 44-year-old Alfreedia Glover, the adoptive mother of Alexis was arrested for felony, child neglect and for filing a false police report.This comes after police searched cars, property, etc.
Police believe that Alexis Glover was murdered at an unknown location, and her body was dumped in Woodbridge. As of now, no murder charges have been filed in Glover's death.
Alfreedia Glover is currently being held without bond.
